Everythingis set in the afterlife, a highly

reward for her righteous life. 
The plot
After her death, Eleanor Shellstrop is welcomed to her afterlife in "The
Good Place" (opposed to "The Bad Place") by Michael, an immortal
architect who built a specifically designed afterlife community that strives
to accommodate everyone's specific tastes. Michael introduces Eleanor to
Janet, an artificial intelligence that serves as a guide and repository of
knowledge and can produce anything asked for out of thin air, and her
assigned soulmate, a university ethics professor named Chidi Anagonye.
Eleanor tells Chidi that she has been mistaken for someone else and he
agrees to teach Eleanor to become a better person to earn her place for
real. Her neighbor is introduced to her as a silent Buddhist monk named
Jianyu Li, whose soulmate is socialite Tahani Al-Jamil. Jianyu reveals that
he is actually a DJ from Florida named Jason Mendoza, who also believes
he has been sent to The Good Place by mistake. As Chidi continues to
teach Eleanor and then Jason ethics lessons, Tahani tries to work out a
way in which Eleanor and Jason can be allowed to stay in The Good Place.
When those efforts prove fruitless, an eternal judge named Shawn rules
that Eleanor and Jason must be sent to the Bad Place ...

Things I liked
 The unpredictable ending and storyline
 The acting
 The theme and the idea of that tipe of afterlife
The target audience
I think the target audience is older people,
between the ages of 25-40 years old. But younger
people would probably still enjoy it.
Thank you for listening
